THE BLACK DISQUISITION is an affecting true story of the traumatic event in a boy's life that fractures his self image and the difficult conversation his parents must have with him about race in America. With its avant garde narrative structure and rotoscope animation this film illuminates how a brief childhood encounter can alter a life well into adulthood.
